After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The third prince had some guesses in his mind, and although he was surprised, he didn't say anything.

After some time, the second master of the Shen family asked the Shen family to calm down.

"Third Prince, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The third prince waved his hand. The Shen family was considered sensible for not making trouble with Murong Wenyi.

After not seeing each other for over a month, the children still went to a place that was both far away and dangerous, so it was okay to be a little emotional.

"Let's go back first. We can talk about it later."

Shen Maoshan was a little excited when he saw his son and daughter, but he also felt something was wrong at this time.

The Shen family and the third prince's men returned to Wuhe Village in a mighty procession.

Originally, the Shen family wanted to send the third prince and Xiang Hongxuan back to the military camp, and then return to Wuhe Village themselves.

Unexpectedly, the Third Prince and Xiang Hongxuan insisted on sending the Shen family back to Wuhe Village and then back.

The Shen family did not refuse anymore.

When we arrived at the entrance of Wuhe Village, the village chief and everyone in the village were waiting at the door.

The Shen family naturally knew that the village chief only came to pick them up for the sake of the Third Prince and Xiang Hongxuan.

When he arrived at the Shen family, Shen Maoshan tried to keep the third prince many times.

The third prince knew that the Shen family had not seen each other for many days and had a lot to say, and he also had something to ask Xiang Hongxuan.

When they arrived at the military camp, the third prince waved everyone away.

At this time, only the third prince and Xiang Hongxuan were left in the tent.

The Third Prince glanced at Xiang Hongxuan, who appeared composed, and asked directly, "Hongxuan, what on earth happened?"

"Where did Pan Ye go?"

"Where is the second prince?"

Xiang Hongxuan never mentioned these in his letters.

Xiang Hongxuan naturally would not hide anything and told what happened that day.

The third prince's face was filled with shock.

"You mean, they were going to capture the Second Prince, but Pan Ye unexpectedly knocked him off the cliff with one sword."

"The Second Prince's body has not been found, so Pan Ye is also missing?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded.

He did not tell the third prince that the two were still alive and might even be living together.

He believed that the two people would no longer think of returning to Kyushu.

Even if the Second Prince had his own opportunity and healed his body, by that time, the relationship network of Jiuzhou Kingdom would have been destroyed.

It is almost impossible for the second prince to make a comeback.

What's more, there is no chance for his body to return to normal.

Unless there is the "Resurgence Pill" in Shen Jinyao's hand.

Based on his understanding of Shen Jinyao, she would not give such a miraculous medicine to a traitor like the Second Prince.

As for Pan Ye, it is even less likely that he would cause any trouble.

After all, now is the best time for Pan Ye to come back.

But he doesn't want any of that.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and he never feels that there is any high or low.

If Jiuzhou Kingdom no longer needs him, he also wants to travel around like Shen Jinyao.

Knowing this, Xiang Hongxuan and Shen Jinyao decided to only report the whereabouts of Pan Ye and the Second Prince until the day when the Second Prince fell off the cliff.

After hearing this, the third prince Zhao Chengyan confirmed it several times with some reluctance.

It was not until he saw that Xiang Hongxuan's face was calm and unchanged that he believed it with some regret.

He always felt that someone like the Second Prince should not have ended up like this.

Even if he were to die, he should be paraded through the streets and beheaded at the Meridian Gate.

This news is too good for him, but also too unfair to him.

As for Pan Ye...

"Every move Pan Ye makes is at the emperor's behest."

Xiang Hongxuan nodded.

Although he already knew Pan Ye's background, he couldn't tell the second prince about it.

It wasn't entirely because of the friendship between Pan Ye and him.

Whenever we talk about Pan Ye, we have to talk about the second prince.

One thing leads to another, so it’s safest to just pretend you know nothing.

It’s not that Xiang Hongxuan didn’t want to tell the Third Prince or didn’t trust him, but he was actually avoiding the Emperor.

The Third Prince thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps Pan Ye has already returned to the palace. This means that the Emperor..."

Xiang Hongxuan and the third prince looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

They all felt that the emperor might have been acting.

Of course, he is most likely the one playing chess, and they are all chess pieces.

Make fun of them all!

Of course, they had no evidence.

Right now, we must hurry back to the palace.

He originally thought that by establishing an alliance with the Qiang people, he would have a better chance of winning.

It seems that we cannot tell the emperor about the agreement with the Qiang people yet.

The third prince Zhao Chengyan looked at the agreement in his hand. The contents were written very clearly.

In other words, this agreement was actually signed with him, Zhao Chengyan.

If the emperor really has other conspiracies, the Qiang people are his trump card.

He lowered his head to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

Then he thought of something, looked up at Xiang Hongxuan, and saw that he seemed to be thinking about something too.

"Speaking of which, I want to ask you something."

Xiang Hongxuan looked up at the third prince.

"How come your relationship with the eldest daughter of the Shen family seems to have changed since you went out..."

Xiang Hongxuan's face changed when he thought that the other party was the third prince.

After all, I still couldn't hide my feelings.

"It's not as good as you say."

The Third Prince asked, "What do you mean?"

Is there anyone who doesn’t like General Xiang?

"You two were already engaged. If you still have feelings for each other, I will make the decision for you."

This, he thought, was a very good thing.

I'm not only happy for Xiang Hongxuan, but also happy for him to be attracted to a woman.

Moreover, the Shen family and Xiang Hongxuan are now his right-hand men.

He would be very happy if the two parties got married.

Xiang Hongxuan shook his head.

"No, don't worry."

He looked at Shen Jinyao and thought that she probably had no feelings for him at all now.

With Shen Jinyao's personality, if his thoughts were revealed directly, she would definitely not agree.

Perhaps, he was too strict and pedantic before. In any case, Shen Jinyao had been afraid of him, resisted him, and been wary of him. Until now, she had also treated him as a friend.

But I never liked him.

He knew this very well.

The third prince Zhao Chengyan seemed to have seen something funny.

He actually saw emotional hurt on Xiang Hongxuan's face!

Seeing his face full of confusion and hesitation, he really didn't look like Xiang Hongxuan at all.

"So, you, Xiang Hongxuan, have also come to this day!"

How could Xiang Hongxuan not hear that the Third Prince was making fun of him?

Seeing that they were the only two around, he no longer cared about his status, picked up the cup beside him and threw it at the Third Prince.

The third prince took it with his hand, but the smile on his face became even bigger.

The laughter could not be concealed.

"Hahaha……"

Xiang Hongxuan's face turned red and he stood up and was about to leave.

"Report! General!"

There was a noise outside, and Xiang Hongxuan and the third prince looked at each other.

"Come in!"

"Third Prince, General Xiang, the Emperor's decree has arrived at the gate of the military camp."

"what?!"

"The imperial edict has arrived!!"
